Speech Therapy services are provided by a Certified Speech-Language Pathologist employed by Oakview. These services focus on the assessment, diagnosis, and treatment of communication and swallowing disorders.

Communication Therapy
The goal of communication therapy is to enhance speech, language, and cognitive-communication skills, enabling individuals to more effectively interact with their environment. Therapy may address challenges related to speaking clearly, understanding or expressing language, memory, attention, and problem-solving.

Swallowing Therapy
Swallowing therapy aims to improve oral motor function for safer and more efficient swallowing of solids and liquids. This may involve exercises and strategies to enhance the control and coordination of the muscles used in eating and drinking.

Who Can Benefit
Individuals with neurological conditions such as multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease, dementia, or those recovering from a stroke may benefit significantly from speech therapy services. Our approach is tailored to each person’s unique needs and goals, promoting safety, independence, and quality of life.
